Pope: Call on Archangels as You Fight Against Evil

At the end of Wednesday’s general audience, Pope Francis mentioned today’s feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.

“They are ‘ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation,'” the Pope said in greetings to Polish pilgrims.

He added that we should “be aware of their invisible presence,” and invited his listeners to “invoke them in prayer so that in every moment they remind us of the presence of God, supporting us in the struggle against evil and leading us safely on the roads of our life.”

Lord, deliver us from the temptation to want to save ourselves, and our reputations; help us to acknowledge our guilt and to seek humble and concrete answers together, and in communion with all the People of God. #PBC2019
